To alllwiiooa z't mag) concern Be 1t known that I, MABEL Aaron, acitizen'cf tlieUIlited State -residing 'a't Stockton,

inthee'ouuty of San Joaquin, Stateof California, have invented certainnew and use-- ful Improvements in Attachments for Type- Writers; and I-.do declare the 'following to be 11 full, clea'r, and exact descriptionof the same, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it'appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accom-lpanying'drawin 's,- and to-the characters of reference market thereon,which form a part of this application.

This invention relates to improvements in attachment for typewriters theobjectof the invention bein to produce an attaclnnentadapted to receiveand hold the stenographic notcs'fo'r other papers from which transcrip:

tion is being made by-the types-Titer, such holder being designed tofitany typewriter andbeing adjustable vertically and laterally-- to enableit to conform to difl'erent sizes of papers or note books.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensivedevice and yet one which will he exceedingly effective for thepurposesfor which it is designed.

These objec'tsQI accomplish by means of such structure and relativearrangement of partsas will fully appcar'hy a perusal of the followingspecification and claim.

.In the drawings similar characters 01; reference indicate correspondingparts in the several views.

Figure l is a front elevation of the complete device, partly broken out.Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section taken on a line,X--X ofFig. 1. i i

. Referring now more particularly to the "characters of reference on thedrawings. the

numeral 1 designates the back plate of the typewriter and my improvedattachn'lcnt comprising three bars 2 each proridedwith a pair of spacedvertical fiangcsfi adapted to receive-the plates 1 between them and tosecure such plates 1 in position by means of wing nuts 4 projectingthrough one of the flanges 3and adapted to impinge ittight-h.- againstthe other flange.

Cach of: the plates '2 is provided with suitable rubber or similarsupporting feet 5. On each of the members 2 is a vertical rod 6.Slidable over the two outer rods 6 is a lower frame comprising a centralmember? and .twoouter membersB [and hold the same in fixed trame duringits use.

readily seen that T.

such -mcmber' 7 being tel'esooped into thethe same is also held andadjusted in posi-' tion by means of a thumb screw 13 mounted on thethreaded rod 6. Hinged tothe upper end of the frame ll.l2 is a springpressed bar 14- having an operating handle 15 for raising and lowering,which bar is adapted toreccive the paper or book underneath it positionon the The numeral 16 designates the sprineis which press agains the bar1:4 to hold fit in position. Secured to one of the mcnihers (l near itsuppcr'end an elastic ham; 1? having a plurality of holes 18 in one endadapted't'o engage a hook I!) on a collar QO mounted on the opposite-rod(3 which elastic band can be used for holding extra length papers orbooks in upright position on the frame. I

lhe band 17 and the collar 20 are of course capable of moving verticallyon. their re-' spec-live rods 6 when the balance of the frames areadjusted thereon.

In practice the book or pa per to be copied from is mounted on theplatform 9 and engagcd under the member 1 or the bandl'i and as can bereadily seen as the device is attached to the rear of the typewriter it.brings the work'directl'y before the operator rendering it to be easilyseen and transcribed.

From the foregoing description it will be rice as substantially fulfilsthe object of the invent-ion as set forth herein. j

\Vhile this specific-at ion sets lorth' in detail. the present andpreferred construction of the device, still in vpracticesuch deviationsfrom such detail maybe resorted to as do not form a departure from thespirit of the invention.
